Adams' ordeal began during Thanksgiving weekend in 1976, when 16-year-old David Harris offered him a lift. The two spent the day tooling around Dallas, ending up at a drive-in. Adams claims that Harris dropped him off at his motel around 10 p.m. Harris testified that they left the drive-in about midnight, with Adams driving Harris' stolen car. When police officer Robert Wood pulled the car over, Harris said, Adams pulled out a .22 pistol and fired five shots into the policeman. (It was later learned that Harris had previously stolen the weapon...
Wellfleet and Truro are next to each other and about 20 minutes from Provincetown. Wellfleet has a drive-in movie theater (as well as an indoor one), a miniature golf course and a town center with antique shops, clothing stores and a couple of small, mediocre restaurants. But even in these places, like everywhere on the Cape, you can always get a good bowl of clam chowder. The Lighthouse, a restaurant in the center of Wellfleet, is worth a visit, though mostly for its friendly service and delicious blueberry pancakes...

Both display a Nam June Paik piece, clips from the compilation film Precious Images, and a model of a drive-in theater. Both have been ages in the planning, though MOMI's 1978 prospectus preceded AMMI's by three years, and a trace of bantering rancor shows through the Brits' geniality toward their upstart colonial rival. Perhaps because MOMI was spawned by the venerable British Film Institute, it seems...
...hurts -- in their profits. But the law allows government agencies to carry out "administrative seizures" that do not require the owner to be convicted of any crime. Police and federal agents in New York City and Los Angeles have been using that method to impound the cars of drive-in drug buyers whose purchases would bring merely a misdemeanor charge in court. U.S. Customs Commissioner William von Raab, who proposed zero tolerance to the White House drug-policy board after a successful pilot program in San Diego, says its purpose is likewise to put pressure on drug users who ordinarily...
